About Us

Welcome to Appleye, a dynamic entity that emerged from the roots of Appletec, a seasoned optical/electronic components distribution company established in 1990. With thirty-four years of experience, Appletec has witnessed a remarkable evolution in its optical components division, particularly in the realm of custom cameras and camera components. This evolution has led to the birth of Appleye, a thriving entity that has transcended its distribution origins to become a fully-fledged manufacturer.

At Appleye, we pride ourselves on being a diverse team of Optical PHDs, electronic engineers, and product professionals, each equipped with a profound understanding of cameras and vision systems. Over the past eleven years, our focus has shifted from distribution to meticulous development of custom cameras tailored to the specifications of various industries, including home security, medical, defense, automotive, industrial and IoT applications.

Distinguishing ourselves from traditional manufacturing approaches, Appleye operates on a lean manufacturing platform. Instead of investing heavily in infrastructures that quickly become outdated, we strategically collaborate with vetted contract manufacturers in Korea, Taiwan, and China. This approach, inspired by the successful strategies of industry giants in the realm of integrated circuits, ensures our ability to produce cutting-edge custom products without unnecessary upfront capital investments.

At Appleye, we embrace a customer-centric philosophy. We are not bound to any specific sensor manufacturer, allowing us the flexibility to choose the best and most cost-effective solutions to the requirements. Our commitment to the end customer is unwavering, and it remains at the forefront of our operations.

When customizing a compact camera module, we take into account various factors, including final cost target, object properties, illumination conditions, environmental factors, required functionality, and application needs, among others. Our design takes into consideration manufacturing capabilities and limitations, aiming to achieve a cost-effective, high-quality design. Accurate definition and component selection are key to the success of our customer projects.

As we chart our course into the future, Appleye aspires to become the leading global developer and manufacturer of custom cameras. Our focus is on delivering unparalleled quality and innovation that sets us apart in the world of cameras and vision products.
